Since moving to Auckland over two years ago, Shane has gained great experience working in private practice physiotherapy and alongside club rugby teams. Prior to this, he worked in the acute hospital setting in Ireland for over two years, after graduating from the Masters Physiotherapy programme at University College Cork in 2020.
As a senior physiotherapist at Rehab Co, Shane has a huge passion for supporting people and providing evidence-based advice for managing pain and injury. He has a strong background in exercise-based rehabilitation and loves to combine these rehabilitation skills with a blend of practical advice and manual therapy to help people achieve their goals and return to their best.
In the clinic, Shane treats a wide range of injuries and pain presentations, with a special interest in ACL rehabilitation and other post-surgical cases, tendon injuries, and low back pain. Outside of work, he loves staying active in his spare time by running, playing gaelic football, surfing, golf, tennis and — a lot of hiking. View details »

Kia Ora, I’m Ben, a physiotherapist with a strong passion for helping people recover from injuries and reach their full physical potential—both in everyday life and with athletic endeavours.
I graduated from AUT with a Bachelors of Physiotherapy in 2022. Since then I have also become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and am certified to perform dry needling. My approach combines evidence-based rehab techniques with performance-focused training to help clients not only heal but also come back stronger.
Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with various populations such as older-persons, post-surgical, chronic pain, and working in premier-level rugby, where I gained hands-on experience in treating high-performance athletes and managing acute and chronic sports injuries.
My key interests lie in strength and conditioning, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and tendinopathy management. Whether you’re an athlete working toward peak performance or someone recovering from an injury, I’m here to guide you through a personalized, structured approach to recovery and improvement. I’m especially passionate about bridging the gap between rehab and performance—making sure you don't just return to your sport, but return better prepared.
Let’s work together to get you moving better, feeling stronger, and performing at your best. View details »
